Abstract: Disclosed is a cover tape which comprises at least a base layer (A), an intermediate layer (B), a peeling layer (C), the primary component of which is a thermoplastic resin, and a heat seal layer (D), the primary component of which is a thermoplastic resin that can be heat sealed to a carrier tape. The tensile storage modulus (c) of the thermoplastic resin that constitutes the peeling layer (C) is within the range of 1Ã106 Pa to 1Ã108 Pa. The tensile storage modulus (d) of the thermoplastic resin that constitutes the heat seal layer (D) is within the range of 1Ã108 Pa to 1Ã1010 Pa. The ratio of (c) and (d) satisfies 1Ã104â¥(d)/(c)â¥1Ã10. This kind of cover tape has the appropriate peel strength and sufficiently low fluctuation in peel strength when heat sealed to a thermoplastic resin carrier tape. Therefore, the tape will not tear even under shock caused by high-speed peeling, and adherence of electronic parts does not occur even when set aside for a long period of time of 24 to 72 hours in a high-temperature environment of 60 to 80ÂºC.

Title: Fitting
Inventor: BOYES SIMON
IPC: F16L37/092
Filed: 2013-12-03
Abstract: A push-fit type pipe connector 1 having first and second parts 2, 3 connected together to provide a hollow body within which is received a grip ring 5. The hollow body can have an internal surface 40 that is tapered from a wider internal region to a narrower open end through which a pipe 7 is to be inserted. The first part 2 can include axial arms extending axially toward the narrower open end from the wider region. Each of the arms includes a lug and the second part 3 can include apertures within which the lugs are received. The grip ring 5 is arranged to receive a pipe 7 and to cooperate with the tapered internal surface 40 to inhibit removal of the pipe 7 through the open end of the body 4. A removal force exerted, in use, on the pipe 7 causes the grip ring 5 to force the arms apart and urge the lugs into engagement with the apertures, thereby reinforcing the connection between the first and second parts 2, 3.
